What NowVertical Group does

NowVertical Group is a publicly traded (TSXV:NOW) vertical intelligence software and services company headquartered in Toronto, operating across nine countries including Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, India, Colombia, and Egypt. The company serves enterprise clients in Financial Services, Media, Technology, Retail, Subscriptions, and Government/Defense verticals, with marquee customers such as ICBC, The Economist, Nike, Telefonica, Palo Alto Networks, Adobe, and Nuffield Health. Its go-to-market blends direct enterprise sales with a strong Google Cloud channel partnership — NowVertical is a Google Cloud Premier Partner and one of only 17 companies worldwide holding specializations in Data & Analytics, Machine Learning, and Generative AI, and has consecutively won Google Cloud's Data & Analytics Partner of the Year for Latin America in 2025 and 2026.

The company's technology stack is multi-cloud (Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, AWS, Snowflake) and centered on three proprietary platforms: NowHub, an AI-powered enterprise analytics platform with KPI tracking and AI-enabled querying; NowPrivacy (built on the DocAuthority acquisition), a data governance and privacy suite; and NowUnlock AI, a delivery framework that the company reports achieves up to 90% reduction in analysis time for cloud data migrations. The product portfolio spans 13+ solution offerings including Customer Retention, Customer Lifetime Value, Single Customer View, Marketing Attribution, Campaign Analytics, Data Risk Mitigation, and Predictive Recommendations, supported by professional services in Data Governance, Data Modernization, MLOps, Data Engineering, AgentOps, and GenAI integration. Documented AI capabilities include predictive modeling, NLP, generative AI (Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini), recommendation engines, anomaly detection, and AI agent deployment.

NowVertical generates revenue through a hybrid model: professional services for data and AI implementation, license-plus-services agreements where it acts as Google Cloud licence partner of record (earning referral/licensing revenue), AI solutions with both project fees and subscriptions, and ongoing managed services (DataOps, MLOps, AgentOps). Pricing is project- and contract-based — disclosed contract values range from $250K expansions to a $4M/3-year license-plus-services deal — with no public pricing tiers. The company grew via acquisitions between 2021 and 2022 (Allegient Defense, CoreBI, Affinio, Acrotrend, Smartlytics, Exonar, DocAuthority, Resonant Analytics) and completed a One Brand consolidation in Q4 2025. Reported 2025 revenue was approximately $37M, with strategic-account revenue up 14% YoY to $25M and GCP-sourced revenue up 36% YoY; the company reported a net loss and appointed co-founder Andre Garber as Interim CEO in June 2026 following the departure of Sandeep Mendiratta.
